Age 70 how much can you earn with no loss in Social Security?

Answer 1

There is no limit on the amount of money you can earn while receiving Social Security retirement benefits after you reach full retirement age. At 70, you are well clear of that mark.

Full retirement ages

Born before 1943.............65 years

Born between 1943-1954..66 years

The full retirement age will gradually increase each year until it reaches 67 years for people born in 1960 or later.

Early retirement and earnings

If retired below full retirement age: $14,160 per year, and for every $2 over that limit, $1 is withheld from benefits.

In the year you reach full retirement age (prior to your birthday): $37,680 per year, and for every $3 over the limit, $1 is withheld from benefits until the month you reach full retirement age.

Answer 2

There is no limit on earned income once you reach full retirement age. If you were born before 1943, full retirement age is 65; between 1943 and 1954, retirement age is 66; between 1955 and 1960, retirement age gradually increases to 67.

At age 67, you have passed full retirement age (FRA) and can any amount without fear of your benefits being stopped or reduced.

Answer 3

The amount of benefits one can drawer at the age of 70 depends upon the total amount of money earned up until the age of 70. You will then get a proportion of the full amount.
